“Janice McRandal and Stephen Wright bring together a body of rhythmic riffs in and around the work of Craig Keen. This body, transgressing its own dance from one piece to the next, exposes Keen’s call to immersion in the present solidarity of the risen crucified Christ through the freedom of embodied Spirit-infused improvisation.”
—Anita Monro, honorary research senior fellow, University of Queensland
“Craig Keen has taught us that if theology is in any way a worthwhile endeavor, it cannot resist exploring what comes ‘after crucifixion.’ In these essays, we find a series of brilliant theological improvisations which range from reflections on the role of the corpus callosum to the loveliness of spiders to the resonances with postmodern philosophy, all in honor of Keen’s marvelous work. A feast of a book.”
—Kevin Hargaden, director and social theologian, Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice
